Being an exclusive Canon photographer, I am always pleased to see when Canon comes out with a special camera. If you do shoot the stars the Canon EOS 600a camera’s infrared filter permits three times the red hydrogen-alpha wavelengths emitted by celestial bodies to reach the image sensor this will really help you in capturing you favorite celestial bodies as someone who does this type of work and as a trained student of the stars I can tell you this camera will yield some incredible images.
